The device and method provide precoding and symbol-rate transmitter spectral shaping of signals representative of digital information. The invention improves reliability of reception in the presence of non-Gaussian channel noise. The present invention also provides a flexible way of choosing between linear equalization, precoding without spectral shaping, and precoding with spectral shaping.

Device and method for combining precoding with symbol-rate spectral

A digital data sequence is mapped into a signal point sequence e(D) for data transmission over a channel h(D) to produce a channel output sequence y(D)=e(D)h(D). e(D) is chosen so that the signal points in the sequence y(D) belong to a class of possible sequences based on the digital data sequence, the class being based on a time-varying trellis code derived from an N-dimensional time-invariant trellis code by using different transformed versions of its underlying lattices for respectively different N-dimensional symbols.
